Card stock? Has anyone ran card stock through this printer?

It sometimes works. Mine jammed continually with normal paper, color printing. It's now in the trash.

I'm not sure how thick of a card stock you are using but I use 100lb matte card stock paper all the time on this printer and it comes our flawlessly!

Make sure you have the paper type properly set. I accidently set mine to card stock, deactivating duplex printing for that tray.

I tried it just for you! I have 20 pound card stock. It printed just like it does on normal paper. This is a great printer for a small price. AND, the biggest bonus I think, the ink is relatively cheap and lasts! I can not say enough good things about this little printer.

Card stock works fine from the rear sheet feeder but not from the tray, of course. You get pretty good quality if you tell the printer you're using "matte photo paper" instead of "plain paper".

this will help. When you load the paper tray first load regular printer paper then place your card stock on top of the your regular paper and now you should be able to print. Good luck hope this helps..

I have printed on 8 1/2 inch label sheets--works well, they've never jammed. I have not used the printer for card stock as of yet.

We had trouble with card stock. It will not take anything thicker than copier paper. Unless there is a setting we have not found that will change that.

My husband and I recently purchased this printer. I used a very heavy bond card stock. At first I tried running it through the manual feed and it worked but not great since it is a 1 page manual feed. My husband suggested I try it in the regular paper tray and it worked great.

I've only run one sheet of card stock through the printer (so that's not much of an testimony) but it performed perfectly.

I print 110 card stock all the time on this printer. The settings have to be right. Never a paper jam but it does put a little crimp on the top of the paper. I do not get that crimp with a lighter weight card stock (80).

I've used card stock with no problem; although, I don't have the package so I'm not sure of the exact weight. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Overall, this has been a great printer.

My wife has printed several birthday cards (about 12) on 65 pound card stock with no problems. I recently bought 110 pound card stock, but I haven't tried it out yet. The printer works better then my old B&W HP 4 Laser that I had for 15 years until I couldn't get working toner cartridges, even from HP. I've also printed out a couple sheets of labels, no problem. Be careful, some labels are not to be used with COLOR laserjets. As a 24 years, self employed software engineer, with a LOT of printer experience, I can tell you this is a really nice printer. Ready to print in a reasonable amount of time, prints fast, good color (NOT photo quality, decent for all but the expert graphics users). Wireless setup is fast and easy. Wired setup via a router is also easy. I would buy again, if I needed one. Answers are based on about 3 months ownership experience.

I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with card stock in this printer....I know you can find the manual online at the Brother USA website, it may have the answer you want.

I have NOT tried to print on card stock, the matte photo looks to be about the same thickness, so I cautiously believe card stock will work.

I went on-line to chat on this topic with Lexmark support. They explicity say they can't duplex copy on card stock, but in reality, they can't print either in duplex. It's not stated anywhere in the literature. If you are trying to create greeting cards or anything of that nature, this is a wreck. Very bad.

Sure you can. There is a 'straight path' tray you load, as opposed to the 'curved path' feeder on top. You can get the card stock from Epson too if you have problems finding quality stock in your area. Prior answer is correct about single sheet feeding as I dimly recall, having used the heavy card stock printing feature only once when I originally got mine. It'll also print CD disks as well.
